The Classic, The Villain and The Beacon of Light

Hello People!

Richard Armitage & Daniela Denby-Ashe in BBC 2004 North & South

The Classic. Early this August I took a break from The Fellow Ship Of The Ring (yes imagine I still did not finish it) and dived into Elizabeth Gaskell’s North and South, (I stumbled over it while searching in a website specializing in classics of literature) I finished it in 3 days and I normally take 4 days (on a row) with big English books, but this book, Ah! Mr. Thornton! Margret Hale! What wonderful characters, I simply loved everyone in this book, old but how modern and beautiful and thought provoking and funny and heart breaking and gloomy and optimistic, Aaaa! It’s a great book.
If you still did not touch it, or like me did not hear of it before in your life thou tells thee go ahead, yes it is said that North and South is Pride & Prejudice meets the industrial revolution but I say it’s much more than that, and Mr. Thornton is more brooding than Mr. Darcy how cool is that? I always wanted to know more about the north of England and this book is made to make you see the difference between the north & south in bright colors AND you won't stop quoting. By the way, I jumped and saw the BBC miniseries first, and needless to say, Brilliant.

The Villain. I think Khan in Star Trek into Darkness is a high-quality villain, a true display of how the bad guy should be written (note to writer-self). Yes viscous and terrible but still sympathetic and a one to root for, you just can’t hate him, well completely at least, since he sneaks upon you from the family & loved ones door, where anything seems logical in order to save them. He has this great ability to convince you, holds himself perfectly and never wavers, he knows exactly what both himself and you are capable of and works according to it, he talks like no one, looks like no one, unpredictable to a shocking degree sometimes and easily quotable, again Brilliant.

Of course when you combine good writing with perfect acting this is what you get. Like Duh!

Benedict Cumberbatch as Khan

Now that I found myself a set of enjoyable characters to add to my list, time for a little illumination, if you know what I mean :P

Guys! I had no idea that Robert Louis Stevenson’s family were a family of lighthouse builders ! So Not FAIR! (ehem) The Stevenson’s built 97 lighthouses along the Scottish coastline and other places, remarkable!

 

This here is Calf of Man, Lower Lighthouse built by a Robert Stevenson in 1818. I like it, it isn't used anymore, but it looks like a nice place to hang out when your board out of your skull! which happens to me. A lot.

Now look at those lighthouses from around the world and tell me what you think, cause I sure will tell you,

talk about getting me Dizzy man!

Yum Yum! Mommy let me eat this giant candy :D

That's just elegant, superb work.

Now that is how a lighthouse should always look like.
